We woke up to snow this morning.  Very strange, indeed.  It would have been lovely in January, February even, but the end of March.  As we left the house this morning, Ian looked down and asked, “is this real snow?”  Yep…..
I put some new prints in the shop this week and will be adding more […]

My very favorite Portland tradition our family has is to go watch the Chapman swifts make their annual trip down the schools chimney.  Every year we say this is Portland at it’s best!   Here is a new print inspired by this yearly event.  (you’ll have to wait until next fall to see them again)

It is howling past my window now. 
I will be adding a new item to my etsy shop tomorrow.   Here’s a little sneak peek:

These are really so cute.  I took the fawn image from one of my paintings and created these pendants.  They will also come with a fun little mini print of the same image.

Oh am I in love. Yes I love you too dear, but etsy is my new shopping love. It is so hard to find toys for boys sometimes that you love to give as much as he will love to play with. Well today I was so excited to find this.

I added a couple new prints to my etsy shop today.  I think they are really sweet and simple and would be lovely in a little girls room.  They are part of a series I’m working on.  More on the way soon!

I got the kids the coolest thing for Christmas yesterday on etsy at Owly Shadow Puppets. I got Holly the owl and Ian a dinosaur (shhhh). I think they will have so much fun creating stories with the shadows these guys create. I am loving buying my gifts on etsy this […]
